Fiona Fraser - Managing Director
Fiona joined Burns Graphics in 1983 (wow, 24 years ago and looking so young!), becoming Managing Director in 2000. She handles the strategy and production of projects, and enjoys the challenge of 'impossible' deadlines - to her, nothing is impossible.

Outside of work, looking after friend's dogs was a good excuse to take long walks in the Staffordshire/Derbyshire countryside, and find a fine hostelry serving traditional ales. Since becoming the proud 'mother' to young Fergus, the walks have become more frequent and Fiona's knowledge of local footpaths, history, nature and public houses is almost to mastermind level.


Maggie Lucas - Sales Director
Having worked in graphic design, marketing and print for over 20 years, Maggie prides herself on her level of customer service. She enjoys talking to clients, researching their company and market place - and delivering a project that will be successful.

When not working, you will find Maggie listening to music, watching football (not just watching, actually a bit of a fanatic being a Season Ticket holder at Liverpool!) and socialising, with friends - yes you guessed it, translates into whiling away a happy hour or two at the local pub.

Happily married to lovely Phil, Maggie's love of animals is clear in that four cats share their home, one of which was a runt of a litter but Maggie simply couldn't resist.

David Sims - Creative

He is an enthusiastic MG sports car fan, David says "I know my daughter was about to be born, but why did I ever sell my MG?"

David hates gardening and decorating, so don't expect an invite to dinner!

Fergus Fraser

One of Fergus’s duties is as office shredder, you often see him run past you with a piece of paper or envelope he shouldn’t have and shred it!

As head of security you often find Fergus lying at the top off the stairs he frightens off potential intruders by lying down, wagging his tail and rolling on his back for his tummy rub.

He is currently on a doggy youth training scheme and we find him a very tolerant obedient employee his salary is mainly paid in cuddles and strokes!
